2016-2017 NBA Thread

The Joakim Noah contract is going to go down as one of the worst deals of all time. He's never going to get healthy. Shame too, he is one of my all time favorite Bulls.

Deng this year is even worse. Noah's at least a positive in BPM, WS and VORP for the Knicks even if his offense is atrocious.

Tonight on ESPN:
GSW (8-2) @ TOR (7-3).
MEM (5-5) @ LAC (10-1).

I wanna see LAC. I'll try to tune in to that. It's after the new South Park episode so that's good.

He's getting old. There's a lot of miles on Lou.

Caught ESPn and there was 3 mins left of GSW beating TOR and they have fucking Drake on half the screen from the audience talking about why the Raptors are better. ESPN got some B-team broadcasters.

Yeah, but he got paid the same as Noah this year.

Wrecked by Houston who was on day 2 of back to backs. FML.

[jregz]

I think he and Mozgov are good vets for that young Lakers team. Sure that contract is not the bets ut the Lakers are 3-4 years out and a few moves from a title run.

The point is that for all the talk of Noah as the worst contract ever, Deng has been doing far worse and he got paid the same contract. Noah at least has been a net positive overall even on limited minutes.

My Jazz just shit all over the Hawks

[Blueobelisk]

Ya okay Team Skull Grunt. 9-8 team beating 10-6 isn't THAT spacial.

Cleveland is 12-2. That's pretttttttttttttttttttty good. I mean obviously not record breaking, but 85% is good. I know it's early but I hope they keep it up.

Golden State is 13-2 after their embarrassing start. :O I gotta catch a game to see how they look.
LAC 14-3.
SAS 13-3.

Oh wait, GS is still playing LAL right now this late at night. They 'bout to be 14-2. :O

Holy shit I'm not seeing any good games in the foreseeable future.

Next Thursday, Dec 1 on TNT:
LAC @ CLE 8 PM.
HOU (10-6) @ GSW 10:30 PM.

Okay it's decided, next Thurs night is basketball night. Clear your schedules.

Jesus, Drake is a fucking tool and anyone who listens to that fuckstick should be punched. He is a retard if he thinks the Raptors are a better team. GSW is probably still the favourite to win the championship this year, and the Raptors are at best the 2nd best team in the East.

538 still has the Warriors at 47% odds to win the title. Cavs are second at 14% and the Raptors are fourth at 7%.

My blazers are so trash.

Join the club. Everyone is shitting on us lately. Right now I wouldn't take odds of the Hawks versus Rutgers.

Yeah but we held them under 70. To put on such a show, it feels good, yo. *makes rap hand signs with swagger*

We're actually starting to heat up. We just had an amazing win against Houston.

Hawks seem off lately, it's true.

Time for the Mavs to pick up their 4th win of the sea- Nah I can't go on. We are such trash this year. Worst record in the NBA with the toughest schedule on the week. I can't even hope for a win.

You were a Mavs fan?

I checked the records and I was surprised at how badly they're doing. Dirk is prob like "for fuck's sake for this I could either be on a beach right now or I could be making like $300k a game."

Yea lol, Dirk has been out for a while though as well as Deron Williams and Devin Harris. We weren't too terrible when Deron was playing tonight against San Antonio. Spurs were also resting a few guys though so I dunno what to make of it.

[ItachiZaku]

We all knew Russ was going to be on a tear this season, but are we on the verge of a second TD for the season? That's GOAT territory there (not to compare Russ to the GOAT, but he has been in the league awhile and we all did/do that with Bron), think he can sustain this insanity?

[Blueobelisk]

Oh I almost forgot tonight is the night I said we'd watch games. Fine.

Alright it's on. TNT Crew is chatting. Prob like 10 mins til tip off. Lez observe the best teams.

LAC put the beat down on Cleveland lol.

Ugh why do we always catch the injury bug? Hayward/Hill is currently ranked the best duo in the Western Conference, winning 5/5 games together. :< Annnnnd lost Hill tonight with a toe injury. And lose to the heat by 1.
